Play Ball!

Opening day is just around the corner. Pre-season is coming to an end. America's national pastime is about to begin a new season. My grandson is reaching for his ball and bat. He has his batting helmet on and his batting gloves in hand. There is something fresh and unique about this time of the year. The cold days of winter are over and the dog days of summer have yet to begin. Spring time is here.

Seeds are being planted and new growth is anticipated. Nature is dependable and consistent. Farmers depend upon it for the results they hope to achieve. We depend upon it as well. While there might be unexpected tragedy, they put there plans into action with confidence and consistence. It is what they do and it is time.

I really believe we should follow their lead. It is time to begin, again. It is time for seeds to be planted. Confidence should be felt. Great expectations should characterize our vision. We should feel some childlike excitement. We need to get our equipment ready because the season is about to begin. The chill of winter is past. The dog days have yet to come. Maybe they won't.

I hope you are ready. It would be a shame to miss such a unique opportunity. You will never be able to get this time back. The time is now. Seize it. Do well, my friends.
